/SQT/ - Stupid Questions Thread

I'm trying to use AMD's VSR to run games at 1440p on my 1080p monitor, but I can't set the games' resolution to 1440p unless I also change the resolution in Windows

Is there a way to keep Windows running in 1080p but still be allowed to select higher resolutions in games?

What certs should everyone have? Also, I don't want to attend an actual university. I tried but ended up falling horribly ill for the first semester. Is online schooling a good option and what would you recommend?

>>52559417
Probably not.
Just makes the whole thing more heavy.
If it would fall from your table for example it would have more energy upon impact endagering the parts inside.
I don't know if the fact that they're ERA plates would help in any way.

Okay, take 2. Is there a recommended comic/manga reader for Mint?

>>52559462
Good point. I still like the idea of trying it just for the sake of it to see it it'd save it from a small caliber round such as a .22LR or a 9mm.

>>52559258

Chars are just bytes. Bytes are just 8-bit integers.

This is a signed 8-bit integer
+3

This is another
-2

This is an unsigned 8-bit integer
4

There are 2^8 possible unsigned 8-bit integers (in the range [0, (2^8)-1] = [0,255])
There are 2^7 possible signed 8-bit integers (in the range [-(2^7)-1, +(2^7)-1] = [-127,127])

I'm looking to buy a laser printer to print out custom artwork magic cards. I was looking at a HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw, but something on a review site confused me.

I'm about to choose between: Bachelor of Information Technology and Bachelor of Computer Science. I'm being forced into going to university but all I want to do is program, run linux and build websites. My university offers the following major sequences: in CS cloud computing, cognitive science and data science. However, I can major in programming and web design in IT. My biggest doubt is how lame a Bachelor of IT looks on a resume and I'm concerned if in the long-run it'll be worth it? I just want a good paying office job really can I get it from majoring in programming and website design or will I have to go with CS?

So I've had this 650W ThermalTake PSU since about 2011, when I had a guy help me with a PC build.
I'm building a new computer now, and I've read that ThermalTake PSUs should be of low quality, my PSU is rated gold though.

(TL;DR:)
Is there a risk that this apparently "low quality" PSU could blow components in my new system? (or is the risk high enough that I should consider getting a new PSU?)

Im going to be using it primarily for uni related things such as notes, streaming, watching movies. As well as some casual gaming and older titles, meaning I don't expect to run all the recent games at high or anything.

Even so, the better performance I can get out of it for money thats worth it, then I definitely will.

So is the i5-5200u/ 5500 gpu to i5-6200u/ 520 gpu worth a price increase? Or is it so similar that you probably won't be able to tell a difference?

Would 4 vs 8 gigs of ram be a higher priority?

>>52561932
>Does the style in which you program a website effect its overall security?
Actually, it can affect security. Some "styles" are more error prone. For example if you use Yoda conditions, it is not possible to make this error:

if($password = "somesecretvalue"){
   // user authenticated
}

notice the assignment operator. If someone uses Yoda conditions, this would be an error. Now this is an always true condition

>Do hackers have a way of seeing your websites source code?
Yes, anyone can see the source code of the client side (html, javascripts and css). Normally they can't see the backend source code.

Anyone know a way to download large numbers of pastebin files as text? Using something like downthemall gives them as html.

My uni has a company database from which to pick a company (if I don't do that they have to be rated by the uni) for interning at, but most if not all of them are web-design oriented with some making a left turn to Java.

Now I don't have a problem with web design or development, even if it doesn't really relate to what I study, but it's been 6 years since I actually worked with anything close to PHP or Javascript.

Make some ftp server, connect them via ethernet cable, transfer files. Speed should be +10MB/s.
In windows, a good ftp server is the one included with everything ( http://www.voidtools.com/ )
>>52563187
Its more or less the core of a modern OS. Kernel is the abstraction layer that makes it possible for applications to work in a wide variety of hardware configurations, instead of requiring programs to more or less need specialized code for every hardware piece they may find.

How big is it? If it's nothing big, upload it to a cloud. If the old HDD is SATA just buy another cable and put them to work both. Transfer the files, whatever. You can always find a Flash drive and transfer them by chunks. Or try setting FTP server.

Does the monitor light up? Try removing RAM, had the same problem, the good thing is I had LED screen that had errors displayed on it. Try testing different videocards, RAM sticks and CPU if you have the opportunity, if not, get it to non-jew service and talk with them so they can try their parts one by one.

Is there any risk of fucking up my thinkpad by using a $2 chink dp to HDMI adapter or am I just paranoid?

Anyone know how to go about analysing viruses, today I received an e-mail about a missed delivery parcel (which I had actually been expecting) but turns out the e-mail was not legitimate but had a virus attached to it, I run linux so it didn't do anything, but I just want to see what it tries to do, it's a simple parcel invoice .xls that uses macros to try and do something, is there any way I can analyse it?

I have an EVGA 970 (04G-P4-0974-KR for the specific one) and I found that my core clock is like ~1200 when playing games.
But if I crank up AA in the game, it'll go up to ~1400 or so.

Yet that means I kinda just equate in FPS (most of the time). How the fuck do I just force it to use 1400 all the time instead of only when I have AA on?

I messed up my partitioning and now the bulk of the 3TB drive I put windows on isn't showing up, just the partition for windows.

It also looks like ~6-700 GB has gone missing and unaccounted for even in the free unpartitioned space.

For the unparitioned 1950 GB all I would have to do is partition some, right? But then how do I get the other 6-700 back?

once you have to run VMs on a computer your memory requirements can skyrocket pretty quickly. So if you work with that stuff, and want your primary working machine to be a laptop, 12, 16, or more GB of RAM can be very useful.

>>52563855
the unpartitioned space can be partitioned and used, yes.
the "missing" space (at least whay I think you're talking about) is because Windows counts sizes as powers of two and hard drive manufacturers count them as powers of ten, since this makes their drives look bigger than they are.

Depends on the server.
You definitely need a firewall. Then close all ports you don't need.
Make sure your OS and installed packages are up to date.
If you're using SSH make sure that's secured.
Other than that it depends on what you're running on the server.

Why 4k screens are called 4k when they are 2160p and not actual 4096p?
1920x1080 is 1080p.

1366x768 is 768p.
1600x900 is 900p.
4096x2160 is called 4k when its just 2k.

I got a networking question.

This is a HD picture of the relevant part of my current network infrastructure.

I have the Raspberry Pi as a seedbox.
Problem is that my WiFi kills itself when it has many connections, so I have to limit the number of connections (15 nonetheless).

This results in absurdly low speeds.

Now, I'd like to add some hardware somewhere in the middle to have both my PC and the RPi connected via Ethernet.

I could take the Ethernet cable out of my PC and connect it to a router, but I don't know if the 'primary' router will still be able to forward ports to the RPi if I do that.

>>52565360
>Is it possible for my browsing to be public to whoever pays for the service
It's possible to be visible to anyone using the network with sniffing tools e.g. Wireshark
>What precautions can I take
Encrypt your connections e.g. SSL in https/sftp etc
Make sure no one's standing behind you too.

>>52565065
Right now my devices get a 192.168.1.X IP.
Will the switch maintain those IPs?

>>52565431
the switch just redirects, it doesn't give or take IPs.
dumb switches (hubs) just broadcast on every port, packages on the wrong destination just get dismissed by the receiver.
intelligent switches (almost all switches nowadays) learn where to send what.

basically everything will be the same, you can drop the wifi on your raspi and just go over cable to your router then

I don't know if you guys remember about a question that I made very late on the last thread about a PC failing to boot and starting right when I switched the PSU to on.

Well, I 'fixed' the problem and it was because the case I bought was custom made by the shop, so one of the cables (the power switch cable to be exact) must be malfunctioning, my guess is that they welded the cable wrong or something, so I changed the MOBO to another case and it's working fine. So if this ever happens to you, try having an older case just to test.

Thanks to the people that helped me here though, it wasn't anything that you recommended, but it helped to rule out things.

I have AzureROM on my Galaxy Note 3 because there was no official CM release as of yet.
I'm on AzureROM 4.something, and I recently checked and saw that they're now on 6.0, but... I don't know how to upgrade. How do I do that?

Is it a simple matter of downloading the latest version, putting it on my SD card, booting into Recovery Mode and selecting the .zip/whatever file to install?

Quick question about some MIPS assembly

Say for example that I want the address of $t0 stored in $a0
How do I go about loading the _address_ of one register into another?
What instruction do I use?

# What do I write here to get the address into $a0?
li    $v0,4    # Print String
syscall

I have been having the weirdest problem with chrome on my desktop. Recently sometimes when I load pages it doesnt load all the way so I get a white page with features and text everywhere. Other times I get the "Page cannot be displayed" like i have no internet, a refresh fixes it. Other times my page is littered with broken thumbnails. This is on a computer connected via Ethernet too

What hardware monitor does everyone use?

After some experimenting I am starting to think that registers don't have addresses. Am I correct on that? Anyways I found a workaround where I can print a character instead of the whole string. I think I've been at this for too long...

there is a free software you can run that cleans all drivers and such so that you'll have a greater chance of successfully migrating your installation to a new motherboard. i used it with no problems
